Second Presbyterian Weekday School

The bullying is so distracting for children in my experience it impacts their ability to learn and is not taken seriously. Physical and sexual assault from one child to another with repercussions as simple as a paternity conversation but nothing more. We will be leaving and do not recommend this school.

Our savior is a wonderful Christ centered education. So thankful for a loving staff who cares about their students. The education is top notch. Love the rigorous education to help children succeed in life.

The Friends School was life changing for our son and family. He attended pre-K there and would have continued to go if we hadn't moved out of state. Our son has ADHD and may possibly be on the spectrum. He has issues dealing with his emotions and had severe behavioral issues. After just one school year, the change in him is amazing to see. He used to be the one who would hit other kids. Now he is the one showing restraint when other kids hit him. He is getting better at sharing and calming himself down. This school is worth every penny and was the best investment we could have made.

I went to SATG 5th through the first half of 7th grade. This school wrecked me. I'm not exaggerating either. I had some underlying mental health issues already coming into the school (too mild to be treated for), and this school amplified them times 10. Even waiting in the carpool line to be dropped off was so anxiety-inducing. I was relentlessly bullied over the interner and behind my back. My friends had rocks and sticks thrown at them. Nobody ever got the justice they deserved and the bullying continued. The teachers seem nice but they really don't care that much about you. If you had any interests that made you even slightly different or had a little more or a little less meat on your bones than average then you'd be in hell.

If you are searching for a school for your child, I strongly suggest Sacred Heart Model School. My children are both graduates of Sacred Heart Model School. The student to teacher ratio is one of the best you will find in Louisville. The teachers are dedicated and caring. The teachers follow the IB practices and encourage ALL students to become thinkers. The curriculum includes courses at the Sacred Heart School for the Arts. Therefore, educating the whole child. This offers opportunities to children who may not otherwise learn to play an instrument, perform in a play or dance. Our son, currently in college, recently shared that he did not know he was smart till he went to college. He was always surrounded with teachers and peers who challenged him. The Ursuline Core values of Community, Service, Leadership and Reverence are evident throughout campus. SHMS encourages all families and students to get involved. All students have service requirements. The Leadership opportunities on campus are incredible for all ages. The Catholic identity is evident in instruction and decisions made on behalf of the greater good for the community at large.
